High Levels of Lead Found in Children’s Toys

Late last month, the Center for Environmental Health independently tested 250 popular children's products, and found that the following seven had high levels of lead:

Dora the Explorer Activity Tote found at TJ Maxx
Faded Glory Rebecca shoes from Wal-Mart
Paula fuschia-colored open-toed shoes sold at Sears
Reversible Croco belt from Target
Barbie bike-flair accessory kit sold at Tuesday Morning
Kids poncho sold at Wal-Mart
Disney Fairies "Silvermist's Water Lily" necklace sold at Walgreens.

Children are exposed to the lead when they handle the contaminated toys and then put their fingers in their mouths.
